Bare-metal servers: sizes, prices and how to order

A whole physical server with nobody else on it: the three sizes, prices, where they are built, ordering and managing one.

A bare-metal server is a whole physical machine: nobody else runs on it, and you get full root access to all of its processor, memory and disks.

Sizes and prices

SizeProcessorCoresMemoryDisksPrice
Bare Metal 6Intel Xeon E-2286G632 GB2 x 960 GB SSDfrom $249 a month
Bare Metal 6 AMDAMD EPYC 4245P632 GB2 x 960 GB NVMefrom $399 a month
Bare Metal 24AMD EPYC 925424384 GB2 x 480 GB SSDfrom $1,099 a month

Prices are shown in your own currency when you order. You can pay monthly, or by the hour from your balance (a month never costs more than the monthly price).

Where

In cities across North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. The order screen shows only the locations that can build the size you chose right now.

Ordering one

  1. Open Servers and choose New server.
  2. Choose Bare metal, then the size and the location.
  3. Choose the operating system and your SSH key, then order.

A physical machine takes longer to set up than a cloud server: a few minutes, and up to 30 minutes at busy times. The server's page shows when it is ready.

Managing it

From the server's page you can start, stop and restart it, reinstall the operating system, see its graphs and delete it. A bare-metal server cannot be resized, and has no snapshots: keep your own backups. To move to a bigger machine, order the new size and move your data across.

What it cannot be paid with

The $10 trial credit cannot pay for bare metal. DDoS protection is not offered on bare metal yet.
